How to Contend"Listen to the Holy Spirit When You Encounter the Power in The Blood of Jesus"He will lead you into all truth, Bring all things to your remembrance & Show you things to come!

1Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James, To those who have been called, who are loved in God the Father and kept fora Jesus Christ: 2Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance.3Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people.

The Glory of Jesus in CommunionFire Reveals and Disarms: Schisms, Heresy and Perversions of Grace

4For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you.

It is spiritual enemies, the ungodly and our distance from Communion that blinds us to perpetual grace

They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.Old Covenant Examples

5Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord at one time delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe. 6And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their proper dwelling—these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day. 7In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.

8In the very same way, on the strength of their dreams these ungodly people pollute their own bodies, reject authority and heap abuse on celestial beings.9But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not himself dare to condemn him for slander but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”d10Yet these people slander whatever they do not understand, and the very things they do understand by instinct—as irrational animals do—will destroy them.

The Three Errors

11Woe to them! They have taken the way of Cain; they have rushed for profit into Balaam’s error; they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion.Pretty Descriptive Language to Identify What Blemishes the Table and What These People Look Like

12These people are blemishes at your love feasts, eating with you without the slightest qualm—shepherds who feed only themselves. They are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind; autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted—twice dead. 13They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever.14Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about them: “See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones 15to judge everyone, and to convict all of them of all the ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness, and of all the defiant words ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” 16These people are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires; they boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage.Our Call to Persevere17But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. 18They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.” 19These are the people who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.20But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, 21keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.22Be merciful to those who doubt; 23save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.Doxology24To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy— 25to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.

1 John 3:12Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

2 Peter 2:15Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

Numbers 16:32and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and their households, and all those associated with Korah, together with their possessions.

Numbers 16:35And fire came out from the LORD and consumed the 250 men who were offering the incense.

Numbers 16:49But 14,700 people died from the plague, in addition to those who had died because of Korah.

New Covenant of Grace Found At His Table

"Remembering Jesus" happens in Communion at His Table when we have the bread of blessing and the wine of life. His flesh and blood are medicine, seeds of eternal life, the Word made alive in us and the fire of Jesus glory transforming us.

Prayer: "In these last days, Keep Us Close Lord. Let us not Forget lest we Forsake You and Your Table."

(Luke 16:19-31 Lazarus & The Rich Man, The Wedding Feast & The Table, The King's Dinner and the Table, The Table and the seats at the Table. (Broken and Contrite Spirit Vs. Arrogance)

Camille and I are documenting our extraordinary experiences in www.communionfire.com. We are now writing our story "The Miracle of CommunionFire". There are several areas to explore here. In addition to this blog site please take a look at "The 30 Day Challenge" (work in progress) where you can access many of our booklets no charge, then "CommunionFire Blog Notes" (research resource to augment many of the blog posts... then is you click on "Landing Page" you will see the first blog archives (from our first blog: Vision Bread Today).

There is so much to share that is relevant and I hope we can find ways to be a resource for what the Lord is doing in your area. We would love to share further about bringing the message of "Daily RevivalFire through Daily CommunionFire" to you! We find that the home group/life group setting provides an optimum environment to introduce Communion and learn about CommunionFire. Renewal/Revival Through Communion is a very strong message for the Church Assembly and another way to introduce CommunionFire. We also can share on the Seminar/Conference levels to bring meaning and relativity to cultivating intimacy with the Lord through personal Communion, Communion for couples and for leadership orientation to this exciting dimension of personal, home based and fellowship-based worship.

Through daily Communion we encounter the glory of the Lord every day. Jesus leads us to His Table in the presence of our enemies and through the simple meal He invites us to receive of the bread of His Body and the wine of His Blood, the veil is removed. We encounter Jesus and hear His voice by the Lord who is the Spirit. We journal our encounters every day. The results have been staggering but the worship is very simple, quiet and still. We close our eyes to this world and engage His eternal life. 2 Corinthians 3:18, 4:18. 1 John 1:1-5, 3:1-3 and on and on.

These encounters are now happening in CommunionFire Gatherings in other homes on a weekly basis. We are beginning to see doors opening to bring the message to several churches in our area. I hope you will have a prayerful look and that the Lord will provide a way to connect with you!

We get so excited to see and hear what the Lord has to share with each of us every day. Oh yes and for the "Company of Burning Hearts" - Emmaus was the first miracle of Communion at Cleopas and Mary's House! Jesus blessed and broke the bread and He opened their "eyes to recognize Him and He vanished" Luke 24. He instantly reappeared (the moment they ran back to Jerusalem to share with the disciples how He revealed who He was through the breaking of the bread!) Note Cleopas and Mary were (family) Jesus' natural Aunt and Uncle and they walked with Him for 7 miles as He conducted a Bible Study from the Law and the Prophets about Himself,and speaking with Him is prayer! So, they prayed for 7 miles and still as family they did not recognize Him, in the Law and the Prophets they did not recognize Him, in their dialog (prayer) they did not recognize Him - it was in the breaking of the bread! Their eyes were opened and they recognized Him! And so it is today. In Communion He opens our eyes to recognize Him, He shares with us personally, intimately and with joy, bliss and loving kindness! We see Him, His face and we get to know Him for who He really is! Then in the Blood (which speaks) we hear His Voice by the rhema of the Holy Spirit - who only shares what Jesus tells Him to share.)

The Lord bless you all and I hope you will follow the Good Shepherd to the destination He has always had in mind from the moment you believe Him and receive Him! (Revelation 3:20)! Then how He leads us In Psalm 23 - He makes us lay down to enter His rest of total dependency so that He can restore us and lead us on His path in His righteousness through the valley of the shadows of death to bring us where? To His Table - where He anoints our head with the revelation of His presence by His Body and the cup of our hearts overflows with the transfusion of His Blood in our body. From then on we spill over with His goodness and mercy each day until we dwell with him forever!

Why every day? So we don't forget and forsake him. Jesus simply said, "Do this to remember Me" and then told them He would send His Holy Spirit to bring all things to their remembrance!

John 6 Jesus preached, "My flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. If you eat my flesh and drink my blood you have my life in you. (Christ in you the hope of glory). and you have eternal life and I will raise you up in the last day! If you do not eat my flesh and drink my blood you have no life in you!" Jesus said this, I didn't! : ) When He did almost everyone (thousands following Him) turned away and left. Jesus says "If we receive His faith like a grain of mustard seed to believe" and "If we become as little children in the innocence of faith" then the bread becomes His Body, His Flesh and the wine becomes His Blood. When we "do this" we encounter Him in His glory and He builds memories with us that are personal, intimate and eternal.

Quite simply: We need to spend time with him at his table every day lest we forget Him and go after strange waters. In His presence is life and joy forever more. It is in His presence at His Table that we encounter Him in His glory. When we see Him we are transformed into that same image from glory to glory to glory to glory... faith to faith to faith to faith... strength to strength to strength to strength... Communion answers so many questions.

How do we 'find is glory'? Where can we 'see Him'? Where do we 'find Him'? How do we "know Him"? How can we "hear Him"? When is He "available to meet with you personally"? How can we know "He never leaves us or forsakes us"? How can we "recognize His presence"?

Its not by our effort - our worship or power of our prayer. Its not by how much Bible you read and memorize. Its not by how much faith you can muster. It is total and absolute surrender to Him. It happens exactly the way Jesus prescribes. Every time! Every single time! It is by "Doing this (Communion) in order to remember Him."

It is coming to His Table empty handed to feast on His presence through eating the bread of His Body and drinking the wine of His Blood. Then He opens our eyes to recognize that He is always waiting there for us to sit down with Him to receive all that He has prepared for that day. When we see Him it is for just a few moments - its as though He vanishes and deposits in our hearts what He prepared for us today!

Then in the wine from the cup of blessing - we get "the Holy Spirit's commentary". He speaks in a gentle whisper, images or touch to help us and comfort us and advocate for us. he leads us into the presence of the Lord's glory (all truth), He brings all things to our remembrance and He shows us things to come. Jesus with holds no good thing from those that come to His Table. It is the Lord's Ground Zero! It is there that we personally understand that He alone is the way, the truth and the life. We totally depend on Him for our transformation. We cannot transform ourselves no matter how hard we work at it. "It is by grace through faith, that not of yourselves lest anyone should boast". It is in "His glory, filled with grace and truth!"

It is an open table and an open heaven! He made a way for us who had no way. He opens His presence to us who didn't know how to find it. He shares His life with us freely as His friends. He welcomes the children and invites all who are weary and burdened, hungry, thirsty and poor to come and eat freely! When the table is not full He says go carry those in who cannot come on their own (the blind, the halt, the lame) and then He says go into the highways and byways and compel them to come in to fill His Table so that we may prepare for the Wedding Feast of the Lamb!

Once you encounter Jesus in Communion - you cannot 'un-know' this amazing grace! This is what Jesus told us, "Do this in remembrance of Me!" Its not just a memorial of His death - it shows what His death has accomplished! It declares to the world not only that Jesus died - but that He rose and ascended and sent His Spirit so that He could show Himself alive to us individually in ways that go beyond anything we could possibly invent. That I may know Him... It is no longer i that lives... if that same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwell in you. At His Table we find eternal life, intimacy and bliss!

Love and blessings from the warmth and joy of His glorious presence in His CommunionFire,

The Table of The Lord is where we come into the presence of JesusHe leads us and feeds us there

He revives, re-activates and enlivens our first hand encounter with Him We rediscover daily faith when He gives us our daily bread and cup of salvation

The Table is where "True worshipers worship in Spirit and in truth." This means to "lean in and kiss" (worship in)the presence (by the Holy Spirit) of Jesus Christ (The Truth).

1) Coming to His Table each day (as if) on a regular basis to encounter the transforming power of His eternal love enabled by the Communion meal ("Do this in remembrance of Me") empowering us to activate a Spirit-filled, (Spirit-led, Spirit-fed) Christian life. Here "The Miracle" happens: A table becomes His Table, the bread of blessing becomes the Flesh of Jesus Christ, the Cup of the Covenant wine becomes the Blood of Jesus Christ. We eat and drink what He has prepared and provided by His death.

2) Feeding upon the presence of The Lord (CommunionFire) He shares His love and life inside and outside our body. (Christ in you by the Divine Meal and Put on Jesus Christ as being clothed upon by the 'garment' of His righteousness.

3) Jesus makes us part of His Salvation Story by creating personal memories with us. Remembering is His provision to 'not to forget and thereby forsake Him'. We become 1st hand Witnesses of His Presence by virtue of the transforming influence of His love and life generated in His presence at His Table. The power of His grace to transform us in His glory makes us true Witnesses to His Testimony. As the transformation grows from glory to glory we experience increasing grace. His Testimony becomes our testimony. "The testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy." Prophecy is the revelation of Jesus to each one of us by the power of the Holy Spirit as His glory breaks into our darkness and enlivens us to live in Him. "Our lives are hid with Christ in God." "Its no longer I that lives, but Christ in me." "The life that I now live, I live by the faith of the Son of God who died and gave Himself for me."

For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. None is righteous, no not one. Our righteousness is as filthy rags. So by virtue of being led to His Table, by His invitation we feed on Him who makes all things new. Its not by my might or by my power but by the power of the Spirit, says the Lord!

We are transformed from glory to glory, one degree of glory to another by ever enfolding grace, like relentlessly pounding waves.

We experience ever-increasing joy from strength to strength. Being at The Lord's Table is what makes us healthy and strong spiritually as we are empowered by the 'DNA of Jesus' as we encounter His Body being kneaded into ours by the Holy Spirit and we experience ongoing "transfusions" of His blood into our bloodstream sharing His Word of life.

Jesus is The Word made flesh and His life is in the blood. He is in us and we are in Him. If that same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in you, He will quicken your mortal body! Jesus died, rose and revived to be Lord of the dead and of the living. We are revived every time we come into His presence by way of Communion. .

Praying "Now what Lord?" The answer was to come in five consecutive Communions. I have had several encounters in CommunionFire when I would see a scroll (like the flame of a candle) spinning from the ceiling downwards toward me and always in the same room. the room was warm dark wood with some sunlight streaming through a doorway at the end of a hall that led to the room. i was standing with my back to the front wall and looking up I see a small scroll spinning as it comes toward me covered with something like a fiery brightness. What was strange was that the scroll would open and there would be no writing on it that I could see but it would drop heavenly visitors into the room. The first time this happened I saw Jesus' Mother St. Mary. The next time I saw St. Raphael the Archangel. the third time I saw The Holy Mother of Jesus with St. Mary Magdalene. To date there have been about 12 of these kinds of "scroll" events like this.

On December 1, 2014While eating the Body, my eyes were opened to see a scroll. First, Jesus' Father, St. Joseph fell out of the scroll standing before me. Then Jesus' Mother, St. Mary was there. Jesus came over, He was already there with me. We huddled for a group hug and Jesus said, 'Welcome to the family (of God)!" This hit me as being so loving and accepted in the beloved. Then in the drinking of the Precious Blood the voice of the Lord, the Holy Spirit, said, "These 5 things I say to you." (As if pay attention, this is something new for you.) Over the next 5 Communions I made special note of the message of the Holy Spirit in the wine of Jesus Blood. I got the clear sense that the next 5 messages in Communion would be somehow related. This is what we received from the Lord (The 5 messages are highlighted.)

December 2, 2014In the feast of the bread His Flesh the veil pulled back to reveal Jesus and I saw the Holy Spirit ascending wrapped in heaven's glory. While drinking wine of His Blood, the Voice of the Lord said (The 1st Message), "I Am that I Am has sent you." Camille: In the feast of the bread of His Flesh Camille heard the Lord's Voice 'Peace I leave with you. Peace I give you." While drinking the wine of His Precious Blood Camille said it was like she could hear the voice of 10,000 lambs being slain in Egypt to give us what we can't give ourselves. Over this she heard the Voice of the Lord, "I Am love, that's why I did it." (As if in Jesus death all have died that they might share eternal life in Him.)

Tuesday, December 2, 2014(Evening Communion with the Surfside Beach CommunionFire Gathering at the DePalma's house) Bob: In the feast of the bread His Flesh I found myself facing a stone wall in Gethsemane where evil was being exposed in the presence of the Lord. While drinking wine of His Blood, the Voice of the Lord said (The 2nd Message), "I have given you the shoes of peace." Camille: In the feast of the bread of His Flesh Camille heard the praise song, 'i will enter his gates with thanksgiving in my heart..." while thinking ('Sorry i am inconsistent Jesus.') Drinking the wine of His Blood Camille the Voice of the Lord said, "I'm a miracle maker!" and I was surprised by joy while He was speaking this!

Wednesday, December 3, 2014:Camille woke up hearing herself preaching about Passover and the Passover Lamb. She said that one crumb of the Bread of His Flesh is like the entire Lamb that was eaten Passover night.It is not a symbol. It is as real as the Lamb slain by each household that had to raise the Lamb and then kill it. It became a 'friend' of the family first. We 'try to love' in our own strength, but Jesus is love. When we have Communion it is to receive His Love. As Jesus said, "My flesh is real food and My Blood is real drink."

During the day I received an emailed document from dear Brother in the Lord, Dr. Marcellino D'Ambrosio, "Spirit in the Bread, Fire in the Wine: The Eucharist as Living Medicine in the Thought of St. Ephraem The Syrian." by Sidney H. Griffith. This was a vital link and enormous boost to affirming that our CommunionFire experiences had Early Church merit. St. Ephraem was an Early Church Father from 306-373 AD east of Byzantium (Constatinople, today Istanbul) in Nasibius. More on that later, but this was a huge breakthrough for us and refreshed our faith enormously.

Wednesday, December 3, 2014:(Evening Communion at the Murrells Inlet CommunionFire Gathering at the LaMena's House) Bob: In the feast of the bread His Flesh I saw a 'Jesus, as our port of call' (like a destination) and the Voice of the Holy Spirit, "All the ends of the earth look to Jesus." While drinking wine of His Blood, the Voice of the Lord said (The 3rd message), "My Words are like fire" (As if, the wine of His Blood speaks "Rhemati". The Holy Spirit speaks what Jesus tells Him and we share (the message) "His Word" with others and it is filled with His fire.) Camille: In the feast of the bread of His Flesh Camille heard, "God loves us." (As if spoken to all who had gathered). Drinking the wine of His Precious Blood Camille "The Greatest Heart was given to me!" (as if "to receive His love"! - That Jesus shares his heart with us and He pumps His love into us in Communion.

Thursday, December 4, 2014:(I had Communion by myself at 8:37 pm) In the feast of the bread His Flesh I saw outside the stone Chapel of "The Basilica" an Orthodox Priest kneeling down on the stone from a stone step looking at a "special Cross" as though He could bend just a little to be able to kiss it. (He was wearing a tall black hat, had on a full length black robe and had a beard and long hair) He kept repeating the word "Theotokos, Theotokos, Theotokos..." with a back and forth prayerful sway. While drinking wine of His Blood, the Voice of the Lord said (The 4th Message), "Go and do likewise to all the pinnacles of the earth." (I understood "pinnacles to mean "people groups".)

Note the 'Special Cross' looked something like it had blood drops centered above the edge of the top, each side and bottom and a white Eucharistic bread/wafer behind it - as if like a solid halo behind the head, arms and top torso of where Jesus would have been. "The Communion Cross" as I saw it where the Priest was bowed over it may have been something like the "Nazrani Cross" (Nazarene and thereby affiliated with the Annunciation) identified with the Syrian Church and is identified often as related to the Evangelistic Missions of St. Thomas especially in India.(See full Description: click here)

FYI - I did not know that what the Cross I saw was in any way related to Syria, St. Ephraem or that the Nazrani Cross even existed. I only found this as i was writing this post this morning! Can't make this stuff up. (In fact the Cross I saw is a bit different as described above but the Nazrani Cross is very close to a vision I had of "Communion" in 1975. The impact was so great that it was made into a custom leather Bible cover that I carried for years.)

THEOTOKOS Be it unto me according to Thy Word

Friday, December 5, 2014:(Morning Communion with Camille) Bob: In the feast of the bread His Flesh I saw the fiery scroll again. I was with Jesus in that room and when the scroll unfurled Jesus' Mother Mary came out and stood with us. While drinking wine of His Blood, the Voice of the Mary said as if deferring to Jesus (The 5th Message), She spoke to me for the very first time. She said, "Bob, Be bold!". Camille: In the feast of the bread of His Flesh Camille heard, "The blood on the door covers all." (As if referring to the imagery of The Passover in Egypt. Drinking the wine of His Blood Camille heard, "Each one must eat the bread (of His flesh)." (As if the blood was cooked with the flesh when roasted on Passover night.) That is why the meal is the bread of His flesh and the wine of His Blood. When they come together inside us - so does the life of Jesus.

(The 1st Message), "I Am that I Am has sent you." (The 2nd Message), "I have given you the shoes of peace."(The 3rd message), "My Words are like fire"(The 4th Message), "Go and do likewise to all the pinnacles of the earth." (Pinnacles = people groups)(The 5th Message), Mary spoke to me for the very first time. She said, "Bob, Be bold!"

When you couple these with the message from the Host and Camille's messages it gets very interesting to me. I am sharing these with you directly from the pages of my journal. (CommunionFire Journal 6 October 30, 2014 - December 16, 2014)

The Presence of Jesus, like the dove, is gentle, sensitive, caring, peaceful, and there to ignite your heart with His love. "coming from the Lord who is the Spirit." 2 Corinthians 3:18c

You can refuse His invitation and not come to the Table and miss out on the miracle...

You can come to the Table and not eat and miss out on the miracle...

You can come to the Table and eat the bread and wine and miss out on the miracle...

You can come to the Table and eat the Body and drink the Blood and encounter the miracle of His glory.

If you have a grain of mustard seed size faith and you come to the Table as His child, the bread will become His flesh and the wine will become His Blood. Simple faith and a child-like heart that receives what is offered without asking for explanation. Then, your eyes open and you see Him. Your ears open and you hear Him. He is gentle, kind, happy, warm and He is your Savior and friend. You encounter the Lord much the way He reveals His glory in the Gospels and book of Acts. His presence reveals sights and sounds of wonder that feed us with new life.

The Resurrected Jesus Acts Like The Holy Spirit Before The Ascension

It is interesting that we see the resurrected Jesus acting like the Holy Spirit. He appears to many but we have recorded in the Gospels that He meets Mary and she does not recognize him until she hears Him speak her name. Then He walks for 7 miles with His Aunt Mary and Uncle Cleopus and they don't recognize Him even when He is very candid about pointing Himself out in the Law and the Prophets. It is only when He enters their house and blesses the bread and breaks it that their eyes are opened and they recognize him. Then He vanishes! Cleopas and Mary go back to Jerusalem that same night they report that they saw Jesus in the breaking of the bread and at that moment, He re-appears standing in the midst of them! The disciple do not recognize or believe it is Him until He eats fish and honey and spends all night sharing about Himself from the Law, the Prophets and the Psalms. When the disciples are fishing all night without netting a single fish Jesus is suddenly visible on the beach instructing them how to fish. They do not recognize Him but do as He says. They instantly net 153 fish and John has a revelation. "Hey, that's Jesus on the beach!" They come ashore and find He is already cooking breakfast! Why didn't anyone recognize Him? They were not baptized in the Spirit yet. Jesus gave them an on-site seminar on what it will be like when the Holy Spirit arrives in the upper room on Pentecost and begins His job of revealing the living Jesus Christ and sharing what He has to say with each of us. How does He arrive? With a mighty heavenly wind and the fire of God! Its a supernatural manifestation of God's supernatural Holy Spirit sent to ignite the hearts of those gathered. The fire of heaven pours into them and living water springs up in the form of a the same language of heaven spoken by the Holy Spirit. They instantly join the praise and worship of heaven! They are instantly given a language they did not know. The outward demonstration is a manifestation of what is happening intimately and personally within each person and then is seen by 3,000 in the streets of Jerusalem!Now the Holy Spirit would begin His ministry to lead those who sit at the Table of the Lord into Jesus glory, His presence by miraculously making Jesus' Flesh from the bread that is offered and Jesus' Blood from the wine that is offered. When we eat in simple faith Its as though the DNA of Jesus is kneaded into our heart and a holy transfusion takes place when the Blood of Jesus mingles with ours. Jesus resides in us and is feeding us with New life.Jesus said that the world would no longer see Him but that they would see Him. When they do they recognize the Jesus they knew as their friend and the resurrected Jesus who has become their King! The reality of the Kingdom arrives in the relationship we have with the King! At the Table the Holy Spirit leads us into the presence of Jesus where we see Him and gives us reassurance of the promise of eternal life and floods us with the hope that Jesus will raise us up in the last day! It is now, "Christ in you (by communion), the hope of glory!"Its "no longer us that live but Christ that lives in us (by communion)!"Its "the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead that dwells in us, quickening our mortal body (in communion)!"Now, "The law of the Spirit of life sets us free from the law of sin and death! (in communion)"

Friends, its no longer up to you to work on being righteous, it is imputed to you by the blood of Jesus and made real to you in the presence of Jesus at His Table. Communion reveals the reality of CommunionFire. Don't forget and forsake the Table of the Lord. When you come, come believing to remember. Why did Jesus say, "Do this in remembrance of Him?" He knows how easily your are distracted and can forget. He knows how quickly you caan forsake His presence without even being aware of it.

You can't "unlearn this". Now you know! Do this to remember Jesus. We need daily revival fire from receiving daily Communion where His presence re-ignites His fire within us.

Eat the flesh and blood of Jesus with simple child-like faith the size of a mustard seed and you will encounter the personal, loving, caring, gentle, smiling transforming Savior of your soul! Come as you are, He will do the rest. All He wants is the opportunity to share all He has for you, all that He died for so that you could know Him personally.

Had Communion today? Jesus is waiting to share His life with you!

But to this day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their heart; but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord who is the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:17-18

The following came from Anna. We had shared about the Miracle of CommunionFire at Tabernacle of Meetings back in May of 2014. This week we visited and she shared what happened to her. She started to have Communion by herself at home the next morning (Wednesday) and then on Thursday morning while having Communion - she experienced CommunionFire! Here is her story:Pastor Bob, Please forgive my spelling, hope its not to bad. It was great seeing you and Camille. May the Lord continue to bless your ministry. AnnaMy communion experience every morning with Jesus is beyond any words that can be expressed. This morning May 13, 2014 the Spirit said:Knock and The door will be opened to you I knocked and the door opened, standing before me was my Lord and my King.Array in His glory, His gown white as snow, His eyes pierced my very soul.My Lord reached out his hand to me and brought me into His communion chamber.Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord!When I knocked I was dressed in rags, the moment the door opened and my eyes gazed upon my King, through His array of holiness my rags were transformed into the pureness of His glory. The moment I touched His hand a ring appeared on my finger and a robe of fine linen draped over my shoulders. When I entered into His presents it was as though time stood still, in that moment my life ended and began.There is a deep humility within my spirit that is aware of the undeserving right that has been given me. Through my daily communion experience I have come to understand that it was the LOVE that Jesus had for His Father that brought Him to the earth to fulfill such a gruesome death. It was through that Love for His Father that directed His destiny from the beginning when sin entered the earth. It was His Love for mankind that no soul shall parish to save mankind from forever being separated from the Father and all that He found that was good in His creation.My experience coming into a perfect communion with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is during my celebration of the Love that has been poured out for me though I am unworthy. It is a time when I know all is forgiven and that without the love of Jesus and the Father’s grace I would not be here in His presents. Hallelujah to the Lamb of God

CommunionFire is the glory of God. The light of Christ is there as we experience the presence of the Lord. It is the fire of God that purifies what is eternal and burns away what is not.

The power of the Holy Spirit reveals eternal life and ignites us with God's passion. From Him we encounter and experience God's love, joy, peace and warmth. The glory and brightness of His presence is a gentle light and divine expression of Jesus and a gentle whisper of His voice. In His glory we see His eyes. We see His face. We meet with Him wherever He chooses.

How do we see Him and recognize Him? Consider what Jesus did in the Gospels and book of Acts to prepare us. Jesus is visible in the Law, the Prophets, the Psalms and of course throughout the New Covenant. Here we take a look at how Jesus was preparing the disciples to recognize Him after He ascended and sent the Holy Spirit.

Consider: Christ in You The Hope of Glory

When you eat the bread of His Body and drink the wine of His Blood = Christ in You! Knowing He is there because your eyes and ears encounter Him. When we have Communion we should expect to meet with Jesus. He has so much to share with you and to tell you.

But to this day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their heart; but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord who is the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:17-18

Our eyes are opening wider and wider every day in CommunionFire. When we first stated this commitment to the Lord's Table 2 years ago we started seeing more and more in the Scriptures and in Church history. We started with the basic "Lord's Supper" Scriptures in the Gospels and in 1 Corinthians 11. Then the Lord opened up Luke 24 and our eyes were opened and we recognized Jesus right along with Mary and Cleopas! That was a huge moment and a piece of bread we have been feeding on ever since. It now ignites other fires in the Scriptures and our dialog every day.

In Luke 24 until Jesus gave thanks and blessed the bread at Cleopas and Mary's house they did not see or recognize Him. Why? The story continues to unfold by the brilliance of the Holy Spirit! When He gave them the bread their "eyes were opened and they recognized Him." When they did, He vanished right in front of them. What does this sound like? The Holy Spirit is like the wind. Until Jesus ascended He was the Spirit as it says in the verse from Corinthians.

During His ministry He shares and reveals His glory over and over and over again. He was doing a 'show and tell' so that when He left and sent the Holy Spirit they would recognize Him. When He appears in CommunionFire we 'see' Him and 'hear' Him. Jesus told the disciples that when He left the world would "No longer see him but they would see Him!" John 16:16-29

Everything Jesus said and did had to do with helping the world make a transition into the New Covenant. Grace would do what the Law could not do. The Holy Spirit would reveal what could not be revealed by the study of the Law. When Jesus died, He made it possible for all who believe to have fellowship with Him personally, intimately and in the bliss of His presence. Real bread, real wine become real flesh and real blood and opens the eyes of our spirit to see Him and hear Him. When we do, the Miracle of transformation happens at the same time. It is from one degree of glory to another.

At Baptism: From the sky dove like appearance of the Holy Spirit descending on Jesus and voice of the Father speaking from the clouds, "This is My Son, In whom I am well pleased." Matthew 3

Wedding Feast at Cana: 120 gallons of Water turned to Wine when Jesus "reveals His glory" Luke 2

Feeding 5,000 Men: from 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread demonstrating the power of Jesus to demonstrate the reality of the Kingdom of God. Mark 6, John 6

Walking on Water: At 3am Jesus appears walking on the Sea of Galilee passed the disciples boat after feeding the 5,000 and He looked like a 'spirit'. John 6

Transfiguration: On Mt. Tabor Jesus radiated, transfigured with the glory of God with Moses and Elijah. After Moses and Elijah were gone, the Father said from a bright cloud, "This is My Son in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!" Matthew 17

In Resurrection: Supposing Jesus a gardener, Jesus said, "Mary." She recognized His voice and she recognized Him and said, "Rabboni!" He said, "Don't cling to me for I have not yet ascended to My Father, but go to my brethren." John 20

At Emmaus: They did not recognize Jesus after 7 miles of sharing the Scriptures about Himself and then Jesus blessed the bread and gave it to them - Their eyes were opened and they recognized Him and He vanished!" Luke 24

In Jerusalem: Cleopas and Mary went 7 miles back to Jerusalem and shared with the disciples that they saw Jesus in the breaking of the bread - and He suddenly appeared in their midst! Luke 24

On the Beach: They did not know it was Jesus. They did as He said and they immediately caught 153 fish after fishing all night catching nothing. John said, "It is Jesus!" Jesus said to Peter, "Feed my sheep, Feed my sheep, Feed my lambs. by the fire Jesus made" It was the final revelation of recognizing Jesus in the resurrection before the Ascension.

in the Ascension: Jesus rises in front of 500 witnesses into the clouds. This parousia is how He said He would return! As He ascended there were angels who spoke to those who were gathered. Mark 16

In the Upper Room on Pentecost: A mighty wind filled the house and there appeared cloven tongues of fire. A supernatural manifestation that gave birth to all that Jesus spoke about and prepared them for. Acts 2

Paul Knocked off of his Horse: by the light of Christ and heard the voice of the Lord. It was so bright it blinded Him to this world! for three days all He could see was Jesus and then Ananias healed his blindness and Paul was baptized in the Holy Spirit. Acts 9

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

In 2015 our prayer is, "Lord please show us how to do this." (We believe Jesus wants us to share this message with everyone in the Body of Christ, globally). So we will continue blogging, sharing on facebook, writing the booklets and working on publishing our first book. We invite all who feel so prompted to please pray for and with us. We invite your thoughts on this and pray for the Lord to show us the doors He may open to us to bring the message about Renewal through Communion and RevivalFire through the Miracle of CommunionFire.

So 2015 is committed to the mission:"Daily RevivalFire Comes from Daily CommunionFire". This means that to the degree you are committed to responding to the Lord's invitation to "Do this in remembrance of Him" to that degree will His presence stoke the fires of revival in your life. CommunionFire has taught those who are actively involved that Jesus died and rose. That is an accomplished fact. His ministry today is to revive.

For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. Romans 14:9

Jesus makes this very clear in John 6 when He spoke at the synagogue in Capernaum.

No Communion - No life!?

Reviving is what Jesus is doing today. To those that come to Him with empty hands and hungry heart He fills the hands with the bread of His Body and the Cup of the wine of His Blood. He said if we don't eat His flesh (which He says is is real food) and drink of His blood (which He says is real drink) then you have no life in you!

Know Communion - Know Life

If you do, then you 1) have His life at work in you (reviving you), 2) have the promise of eternal life - 'Christ in you, the hope of glory and 3) He will raise you up on the last day!

At 7:27 p.m. on Wednesday 1/7/15 I heard the voice of the Lord to say, "Chapter 18 Verse 14. Crack the Scriptures and go to the closest Chapter 18:14." I know His voice so I grabbed my Bible and opened at random and landed in the middle of Isaiah at Chapter 45. Isaiah 18 only has 7 verses so I went forward to Jeremiah 18:14. To give it context I include Verse 13-15:

13 "Therefore thus says the LORD, 'Ask now among the nations, Who ever heard the like of this? The virgin of Israel Has done a most appalling thing. 14Does the snow of Lebanon forsake the rock of the open country? Or is the cold flowing water from a foreign land ever snatched away?15 'For My people have forgotten Me, They burn incense to worthless gods And they have stumbled from their ways, From the ancient paths, To walk in bypaths, Not on a highway.

In the light of CommunionFire the scriptures come alive because they are breathed upon by the Holy Spirit. The revelation of Jesus in these verses has an amazing connection to Communion. I wonder if you see it? When we eat the Body, the Holy Spirit opens our eyes to recognize Jesus. When we drink the Blood He opens our ears to hear His voice.

The mountains of Lebanon (means 'white mountain' because it is snow capped all year round) is also the location of Mt. Hermon. (See Psalm 133). The snow melts and runs like a fresh, clear, cool stream through the rocks to fertilize the land below and to provide refreshment to those walking nearby. But Israel, the virgin of the Lord (the Bride of Christ) has done something 'appalling' (a calculated disgusting thing).

They have 'forgotten' the Lord!Literally 'forsaken' the Lord because they have been distracted by this life and their own vanities. (been totally distracted by being so self-involved with their own plans so as to lose their way)

We forsake the Lord because we forget. How quickly we forget! So the Lord created the simple New Covenant meal of bread and wine and said, "Do this to remember!" It is for us He created the meal.

He knows that the more we forget about His Table the easier it is to forget, The more we come to His Table the more we want to remember.

"Remembering" is the key and that's why Jesus sent the Holy Spirit, "To bring all things to your remembrance." He helps us remember things we didn't know we knew! Its like speaking with someone about a memory and when you hear what they remember it sheds new light on an old event.

Jeremiah 18 identifies the process of how forgetting and forsaking work. When we forget the Lord we find ourselves forsaking Him. A condition of many who once knew Him and loved Him. Here's what happens:

A) They "Burn incense" give their total attention, (like prayer), to worthless gods (empty vanities that replace the Table of the Lord with 'other furnishings')

B) They stumble, stagger, waver in a communion-less life-style that causes them to fall down in their ways. It causes weak knees and allows for "decay of this life" that results in "things falling apart and ruin".

C) They left the stability of the "ancient ways" (the sure, tried and true paths, paths of righteousness) Its a location (like Mt. Hermon in the Mountains of Lebanon). Its where you find the Lord - His Table.

D) They walk in bypaths - side roads, making their own way, blazing new footpaths that leads to wondering until lost. Wandering leads to wondering, Confusion leads to depression, a 'lack of life'. No Communion - No Life. Know Communion - Know Life!

E) They do not follow the highway (the clear path, the exalted way, the path that builds up) The path of the Lord is a straight clear highway of His holiness. It is the Way of eternal life. It is "The King's Highway". He made a way for us. He is the Way. In His presence is life forever!

Jesus is the way.His way is the truth. His presence is truth - He is the true reality. His way is the reality of eternal life. His paths are well worn ancient paths. There are many who have walked in His way and followed Him to His Table and have enjoyed life times of fellowship with Him. There is a clear way the Lord has made for us to walk and rest in. His Table is in an organically supernatural garden flowing with crisp clear waters of grace and life; very productive soil where His seed takes root and produces fruit right away.

Jesus said to those at The Table of The New Covenant in the Upper Room and personally by revelation to Paul, "Do this in remembrance of Me." Why "remembrance"? Because He knows our proclivity to forget. We make other plans. Our plans are usually vain. We forget what we take for granted. We take for granted what is given to us freely. We wander off into crooked ways and blazing trails that make us stumble all over ourselves. Away from Jesus, the believer fades, stumbles, fails and begins to decay. Our faith fades away.

Communion, The Meal of the New Covenant of the bread of Jesus Body, His Flesh and the wine of His Blood, our redemption is our fountain of youth! It is our life source. It feeds us with the eternal replacing what is temporal - temporary.

You don't eat, your strength fails. Your destination becomes hazy. You lose your sense of direction. You don't have Communion with Jesus Himself, and you become dependent on others or yourself. You forget about Him. You make other plans. They are 'horrid' plans that take you down side streets. Our faith fails. We become disillusioned and disappointed. We crumble, stumble, falter and lose heart. There is a very good reason that Jesus said, "Do this." He gave us an invitation that would not only save our faith but ignite the fire of our faith. In His presence is life forever more! It is only in knowing Jesus where He sets the Table that we "Remember Him". When we remember, we don't forget. When we forget we wander and we starve. It is horrible.

The Bride of Christ is a virgin, pure and clean by the finished work of the Cross. Jesus died and rose and now revives! How? He offers us a place at His Table to come and eat and to drink. When we do, He opens our eyes to feast on His presence and our ears to feast on the sound of His voice. He fills us with Himself and floods us with His life. We remember things we never knew.

We remember and don't forget. It is our personal, intimate relationship with Jesus that is filled with the bliss of ancient blessings that are new every morning. Jesus died to share His love and life with us. He will relentlessly provide and share all that He has with you. He doesn't want you to forget. He made you and wants to transform you to become fully the person He intends for you to be. It all begins and ends with Jesus at His Table. In that day, when He raises you up, He will lift the cup of His love and drink it new with you in the fullness of His eternal Kingdom!

You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever. Psalm 16:11

2015 RevivalFire is in CommunionFireIt is daily; it is personal and it is intimate; transforming and filling you with new life!

Luke 24: 31, 32, 45Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him; and He vanished from their sight.

They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”

Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.

Do you see? Or are you blind? Has Jesus opened your eyes? Has He opened the scriptures to you? Has Jesus opened your mind to understand the scriptures? The word "open" in the verses above mean "To open fully, to open wide".

What is easier to say: your sins are forgiven or take up your bed and walk? (Luke 5:23) Jesus healed the man to demonstrate that He did have the power to say, "Your sins are forgiven!" On the Emmaus Road something very significant happened when they stopped of for something to eat. Jesus blessed and broke the bread just as He had done 4 days earlier in the Upper Room at the first Communion. This was the first time since then that Jesus came to a table. When He did a miracle happened. Those He walked with could not see Him (for who He was) or recognize Him. But when He gave them the bread their eyes were opened w i d e . He opened their eyes to recognize Him. Then He disappeared. Why? Because He was there to do that one thing, to open the eyes of Cleopas and Mary to demonstrate that there was a new reality on the earth.

When we share Communion and eat the Blessed Bread our eyes are opened by the Holy Spirit to recognize Jesus and His presence. It is as real as the meal. He wants to spend time with us and to share all that He has for us with us. He died so that He could. He does.

Our prayer for you today is that as you sit down with a small piece of bread and a sip of wine that you ask Him to bless both to become His Body and Blood. Then as you eat the bread close your eyes to this world and look for him in the Spirit. He will open your eyes. He will reveal Himself and share with you. Then as you drink the wine listen for His sweet, gentle voice. He will speak to you. He wants to share His Good News with you so you can feast on it throughout day and night. As you "chew on the bread" (think about what the Lord showed you or shared with you) and meditate on the message He had for you as it surges into your bloodstream to every inch of your body it will quench your thirst and fill you with new life.

This song by the Second Chapter of Acts really caught my attention today as it speaks so beautifully to our need and desire to see the Lord. Hopefully you can change the last phrase from "or I'll die" to "and I'll live!"

I walked with you so many years still I seem to lack so muchMy heart is cold my eyes are dim seems I need a new touch

ChorusIs it easier to forgive sin or to open up my blind eyes I want to see you right nowI need to see you somehowIs it easier to forgive sin or to open up up my blind eyesI want to see you right nowI need to see you somehow or I'll die

My eyes have shed a thousand tears still I need to cry some moreso I can feel the loneliness of the weak and the poor

(Chorus)

(Bridge)O I have heard it told what pleases God is hearts of goldAnd I want mine to shine so sing us all your heart inside of mine

No man has seen your face and lived and that's what I'm asking youLord just one look upon your face and I'll be made band new

Is it easier to forgive sin or to open up my blind eyes I want to see you right nowI need to see you somehowIs it easier to forgive sin or to open up up my blind eyesI want to see you right nowI need to see you somehow or I'll die

Is it easier to forgive sin or to open up up my blind eyesI want to see you right nowI need to see you somehow or I'll die

Another significant influence in my life is the life and ministry of Winkey Pratney. His lifelong commitment to the study and application of Revival as both an apologist and polemicist raised the bar for me and he accomplished what I only dreamed - to Produce the Revival Study Bible. He has also been an intrinsic Man of God from the days of the Jesus People Movement and a part of my experience as a visiting teacher at Christ for the Nations in Dallas in 1975 and one of the principles in Y.W.A.M.
